From Targettalk, a reply to a question about CSS out of business:

"Unfortunately, yes. Over the last couple of years Carl had handed over the operations to his Son-inlaw. Unfortunately, the business could not survive the combination of divorce and Carl's accident this past summer."

Bummer.

 

[ericskennard]

Very sad news. I wish the best for Carl.

" I wish the best for Carl."

Same here. Never bought a lot from Carl but visited his shop on commercial row at Perry a few times and bought some scope stand parts and ammo during small bore week.

Prayers sent for Carl.

I got the news late. I just tried to connect to their website and got nothing. Bummer.

Prayers for his entire family

His business can be started over. We only have one body. Prayers for his well-being.

Hard to get Eley Ammo is also available there too

That's sad to hear. Healthwise for him and generally for the shooting sports. They were a qualify outfit.

Agreed!

Champion Shooters is not the same as Champions Choice.
Champions Choice in Nashville is still open and their website is still active.
I hope there isn't some confusion over the names because the Champions Choice people are good people.

Well that’s exactly what I was thinking! I’ve walked into Champions Choice in Nashville and I’ve ordered online from Champions Shooters Supply. I have nothing but good to say about both outfits. I don’t know Carl, but I hate hear that he is on hard times and I hope he recovers fully.

Being retired would have been a good bet to hire 3 shooter retiree's to run it until he was able or maybe his family would have been trained by then and now we lost a great place to shop and now our friend isnt a bad way. I pray he gets better so he can regain control of his life.
